HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Unstoppable Foundation works hand in hand with partners in developing countries who have established track records to implement, administer and complete our projects utilizing The Unstoppable Solution for Sustainable Education™ – a proven five-pillar development model.

We oversee each project from beginning to end, monitoring the progress of all five pillars and providing updates to our donors. When the project is complete, we provide our donors with photos and a report on the children and the community that has been impacted by their donation.

WHAT IS THE SPONSOR A VILLAGE MODEL?

Sponsor a Village -- The Unstoppable Solution for Sustainable Education™ -- is based on the five-pillar development model that incorporates everything crucial to lifting communities from poverty and removing obstacles to educating children.

This model recognizes that no problem and no solution stand alone. Each pillar provides vital support to facilitate and sustain community development.

The Unstoppable Foundation’s Sponsor a Village proven model builds schools and provides the entire community with access to clean water and sanitation, food and nutrition, healthcare and alternative income training for parents.

The five-pillar model is designed so everything is owned and maintained by the community, with the goal that the project is completely self-sustaining within five years of the completed implementation.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO SPONSOR A VILLAGE?

It costs only $1 a day to bring an education to a child through our Sponsor a Village model. Donations received will be pooled together in $25,000 increments. Within 60 days of reaching $25,000, the money will be assigned to a specific village in Sub-Saharan Africa where our partners will begin the implementation of the five pillars.

CAN I VOLUNTEER TO HELP BUILD SCHOOLS?

We love that you want to get involved in our work.

Unfortunately, we don’t utilize volunteers in the construction of our projects. We work with local implementing partners who have established track records to work with our community members to implement and monitor our projects. This is the most effective way to bring sustainability to the communities we serve.

The Unstoppable Foundation's role is to raise awareness of this critical need, advocate on behalf of these children, and to raise funds for our projects.

WHAT IS 'EDUCATION FOR EVERY CHILD'?

Education for Every Child is the mission of the Unstoppable Foundation.

Education was declared a basic human right for every person in Article 26 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. By 1990, more than 180 countries signed on to this declaration and put policies in place to ensure that every child, no matter what their circumstances, could have an education.

While a lot of progress has been made in recent decades to get children a primary education, there are still 57 million children not receiving a basic education.

WHY ARE 57 MILLION CHILDREN NOT IN PRIMARY SCHOOL?

Children are excluded from school for a number of reasons. Millions of children aren’t in school because their families simply can't afford the school fees or other associated costs of going to school, like uniforms or materials. Other children spend their days working to support their family either at home, on the farm or in factories.

Many children aren’t in school because of illness, HIV, disability, living in an area of conflict, or discrimination because of their background.

While there are complex reasons that keep children out of school, there are also many solutions to the problem.

HOW ARE WE IMPACTED BY A WORLD OF UNEDUCATED CHILDREN?

A lack of global education and extreme poverty puts everyone at risk. When nations deny this basic human right for all children it creates a breeding ground for political unrest, war, terrorism, global epidemics -- PROBLEMS THAT ENDANGER ALL OF US.

Ensuring every child receives an education is vitally important to the millions of children surviving an unbearable life of poverty while waiting to receive an education. And it's important to each and every one of us.

WHY IS EDUCATION SO IMPORTANT?

According to the United Nations, EDUCATION reduces poverty and has a larger impact than ANY form of aid we can give.

For every year a child goes to school...

Income potential increases

Girls get married later

Early pregnancy decreases

HIV rates decrease

Health and nutrition is elevated for the entire family

Children who go to school are healthier, less vulnerable, and more likely to contribute to the development of society.

HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST TO EDUCATE EVERY CHILD?

Studies estimate that it would cost about $15B to educate every child for one year. Sound like a lot? We spent twice that last year on ice cream.

We spent three times that feeding our pets.

We have more than enough resources and we know that people fundamentally care.

We simply need to provide a clear and effective way for everyone to get involved in this critical initiative.

The Unstoppable Foundation’s Sponsor a Village is a powerful and proven solution.
